High-fat Diet Sure Road To Hell, Especially For Men
Women were less at risk, although a high-fat diet did increase their chances by 23 per cent.
Just one in seven patients with pancreatic cancer live for more than a year after diagnosis.
Scientists from the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, USA found that men who ate a high-fat diet, especially from animal products such as meat and cheese, were 53 per cent more likely to develop the potentially fatal disease over six years. Their findings have been published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The study asked volunteers to fill in a detailed questionnaire about their diet and then followed their health problems. A high fat diet was defined as taking in 40 per cent of energy from fat, while low fat was just 20 per cent.
Researchers followed the eating habits of more than 500,000 people, and predictably the study is billed as the largest of its kind. The link is now found far more conclusive than ever in the past.
Recently scientists from University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Case Western Reserve University
found that a high-fat diet predisposed the cancer-susceptible strain to liver cancer, and that by switching to a low-fat diet early in the experiment, the same high-risk mice avoided the malignancy.
